CassiaFistula:

Ok, I got it. Less talk, more chapters. There you go.

haku 3chihiro: Oh yeah, I've thought about it being an angst story, but since it's going to be a happy ending, I'm making it a humor story, or do you prefer me to rate it under angst? By the way, thanks for being so supportive and read it 50 times!

Akkirako Chikuro: Oh yeah, no worry. I'd rather update slowly then to rush through the story. How should I say it? It's going to be a sad but also happy ending……

A love couple police office well, you just have to read on to see if it really suit your taste, then you'll know why I wrote it that way in the first place.

xAngel.Of.Black.Wingsx: Hmm, you mean you don't like the storyline? Or you don't like how this story is going? But I'm glad that you read on………

Newtral Not Outkast: Oh no, I've been hypnotized to update. Stop hypnotizing me………I'm feeling giddy……………

Previously:

"Oh I'm so sorry! I didn't mean to……………" Botan almost fainted when she saw whom she had bumped into. Her worst nightmare had just come true.

In front of her was the fire spouting Rin.

Upon arriving in ReiKai, Rin deserted the rest of the group and went around looking for Botan, the only grim reaper she knew around here (not to mention the only one whom she can threaten as the other reapers look so fierce). Just as she was turning around in circles, someone bumped into her. Frustrated at not finding her target, she was ready to let out her anger at the offender, until she saw who it is and beamed.

"BOTAN!"

Botan cringed and paled when she saw who she bumped into.

"Erm, hi! What a coincidence! Heh heh…"

"Botan, have you seen a girl? You know, the girl whom I mentioned to you last time? She's called Chihiro."

Botan turned green in her face and broke out in cold sweat.

"Chihiro? Oh ya, I remember! But, haha, I don't see her around. You see there are so many people around here, it's hard for me to sight her too. Anyway, I'm busy, got to work, See you!"

"Botan, I smell a rat." Rin wore a fake cheerful smile. "Tell me, do you really not seen Chihiro around? Huh?!" By then, her fake smile had subsided only to be replaced by a menacing smile….

" I, I, erm………"

[Oh god, please send someone to save me! Botan sweated.

Well, Kami Sama decided that he was in a good mood today and grants her her wish.

"Botan, where are you, you promise to get me in front of the queue…………"

Both Botan and Rin turned their head.

[Oh god, she's here……… they thought.

[My Saviour! Botan grinned.

"Rin…….." Chihiro whispered when she saw who was with Botan.

"Sen, thank goodness! You have not reincarnated! Thank god!" Rin rushed over to hug Chihiro.

Chihiro hugged her back weakly. "Rin…….. Why are you here?"

"Erm………" Rin started to fidget. How should she stall Chihiro and inform the others to come?

"Rin……….." Chihiro sensed something amiss.

"Well erm…………… I was here, erm…………. to err…………" Rin took a peek at Botan standing aside and a light bulb popped in her mind. "To see a friend!" She pulled over the eye widening Botan. "You see, Botan is a close friend of mine! We are so close that I often come here to visit her! Wahahaha!" Rin laughed nervously while getting Botan to coorporate by pinching her on her backside.

"Is it so?" Chihiro rose her eyebrow in question.

"Heh heh…. Indeed we are friends…………" Botan replied weakly, while secretly rubbing her ached butts.

"Well nice that you guys are having an enjoyable conversation. So Botan, is my case done?"

"What case?" Botan feigned ignorance while she gives nervous glances at Rin.

"The case of getting me in front the queue! Have you forgotten already?"

"Arr, that case……………." Botan try to get herself out of Rin's firm grip but to no avail.

"Oh yeah that case. My friend Botan, do you care to explain what case is it? You see, Chihiro is also my friend, and it's naturally that I should be concerned for my friend…………….." Rin said in her fake cheer tone again.

"Erm…………it's nothing…………..just a small case of reincarnation………….oh ya I'm too busy to talk, got to go! BYE!" Having successfully wriggled out of Rin's solid grip, Botan ran and was gone before Rin could catch her.

"Keh! That girl………" Rin fumed and turned her attention to Chihiro.

"Chihiro, listen. I understand why you want to reincarnate so soon. But, could you not be so rash and give this matter a thought? I mean, you've only just reached the Spiritual world! And we've not given you a welcome party yet, and zoomed! Off you go to the ReiKai! Chihiro please, for our sake, could you not stay with us for at least a while?" Rin pleaded with huge watery puppy eyes.

Chihiro listened calmly till Rin finished talking before she replied, "I'm not being rash. I've certainly thought about you guys, and I can tell you, I've missed you guys a lot for the past 6 years. Zeniba, Boa, Kaonashi, you and evenYubaba . But…………." Chihiro took a deep breath, "I can't stay. It's too painful for me to stay. If I stay, I'd have to witness Haku and that Sango get together being lovey-dovey. I'm not strong enough to go through that every single day, every single moment."

"Oh …………Erm actually, that matter of Haku being lovey-dovey with Sango is really not going to happen…………." Rin looked aside red faced.

Chihiro knitted her eyebrows. "Why is that so?"

"Well…………." Just at that moment, Rin saw someone behind Chihiro and waved for them to come. "You just have to ask Haku for the reason then."

"Haku?"

"Yes, you called for me?"

Chihiro widened her eyes unbelievably and turned back.
